3 Secrets to Thinner Thighs

by Jesse Cannone

Millions,
if not billions of dollars are spent each year by people trying to
reshape their hips and thighs, yet few of these people ever achieve the
shape they desire.

I've
spent the past 7 years helping people, primarily women, target the hips
and thighs I have found that there are 3 things you must do to be
successful at reshaping the hips and thighs.

So
are you ready to learn the 3 simple steps?

Ok...
here we go.

Step 1. Stop the storage of new fat!

Exercising
is pointless if later that day or the next you are adding more fat. One
thing you must fully understand is this: we don't store fat due to a
lack of exercise, we store fat because we supply too many calories at a
time. So exercising to lose fat is a waste of time unless you can stop
storing new fat and the most effective method of stopping the storage of
new fat is to stabilize energy levels.

Many
people don't even understand what energy is. Energy isn't how you
feel, energy is the amount of fuel in your body, more specifically,
it's the amount of fuel in the blood stream. So you can have no fuel
in the blood stream yet feel fine and vice versa. The "energy" that
most people have is actually more determined by the blood flow in the body.
The greater the blood flow and circulation the more oxygen and nutrients
your body receives, more efficiently, and to portions of the body that
normally don't receive as much blood flow.

This
however, is not energy. This is simply how you feel. Energy is directly
related to fuel available in the body, which is what you eat. So to
simplify it energy levels are controlled by what you eat.

The
human body is constantly burning calories, 24 hours a day and the amount
varies based on how active you are at different points throughout the
day. So the key to stopping the storage of new fat is to only give the
body the amount of fuel it needs. For example, if your body needs 400
calories but you give it 700, there's extra and there's only two
places the extra calories can go: muscles cells or fat cells.

The
first place the body wants to send the extra calories is the muscles
cells but most of the time they are full so there's only one other
place to go: FAT cells! So your goal is to

The next
question is, how do you know what your body needs. Well, it varies from
person to person and no number or point system can do that for you. The
easiest way to figure it out is too continue eating what you eat now,
provided your weight is not going up, but break it up into smaller and
more frequent feedings.

You've
probably hear it before, "Eat 5-6 meals per day." Well, there's a
good reason for it. Eating smaller and more frequent meals/snacks makes
it easier to give the right amount of food and not extra. This is a
complex topic and one that requires a more detailed explanation, which I
do not have time for in this article.

Just
remember this:

Stop
the storage of new fat before you even think about trying to burn off
the existing fat

If
this left you confused, I recommend you get a copy of my book, Burn Fat
FAST! which is available online at www.burn-fat-fast.com

Ok, on to step 2

This is easier said then done. I speak with so many women who say "I don't know why it's not working, I strength train 2-3 times each week." Well, just because you exercise doesn't mean it's going to give you the desired results.

The one reason I think most people are unsuccessful with exercise is the lack of progression. They do the same exercises all the time, using the same weight, and never do anything to make it more challenging. You must give the body a reason to change.

There are numerous ways to be progressive with exercise but here are just a
few.

Ok, on to step 3

3. Target those trouble spots

Let's
say that you are really trying to tighten and tone your hips and thighs.
Rather than waste your time on the inner/outer thigh machine week after
week, you should incorporate some of the techniques I described above
and use with caution my BLASTING technique which I'll cover now.

Just
as it sounds you are trying to really shock the muscles into making
large improvements in a short period of time.
Normally you would strength train a muscle group once or twice a week at a
moderate to hard intensity level. When you are trying to BLAST an area
you train it more often, perform more sets and reps, and with higher
intensity.

Here's
a sample strength training program that uses multiple techniques
combined over a 5 week period for a BLASTING effect on the hips and
thighs:

WORKOUT A:

- Leg curl

- Leg extension

- Glute machine / raise

WORKOUT B

- Leg press (wide stance)

- Hamstring bridge

- Wall sit

WORKOUT C

- Stationary lunge

- Leg curl (no rest to next exercise)

- Squat

This
is just a quick example I just came up with off the top of my head and
it may not be right for you but I just want you to get the point. You
need to force change. The human body doesn't like it it disrupts
things. I should also say that techniques like this should NOT be uses
often as you can quickly and easily over train and that does not help
you meet your goals.

If
you apply just some of the techniques I talked about you will be sure to
see some noticeable if not dramatic changes. Just remember, work hard
and smart!
